Thanks to big games from guards RJ Cole and Tyrese Martin, UConn men’s basketball took down Marquette on the road Tuesday night to secure their first Big East win of the season. Here are some takeaways from the Huskies’ win over the Golden Eagles.
Andre Jackson, Akok Akok emerging?
Dan Madigan: Make no mistake, UConn won this game due to the strong play of Cole and Martin, but the dynamic duo had some more help than usual thanks to the strong play of Andre Jackson and Akok Akok. Jackson looked extremely confident all night, draining an open three to start the game and constantly pushing the pace for transition layups or kick outs to open teammates.
